VERIFIED & TRUSTWORTHY NEWS. FINALLY.

WHAT’S IN A NAME

John Peter Zenger, publisher of The New York Weekly Journal, exposed the royal governor’s corruption in 1734. The Crown used libel law to silence Zenger, imprisoning him for months without bail. At trial he offered a unique and successful defense: While his articles were hurtful, they were also true.

Zenger’s landmark victory is essential to the American ideal of

free speech. Journalists have hailed him as a hero for more than

two centuries for reporting verifiable truth in the teeth of

opposition. His spirit is our spirit. His mission is our mission.

In 2006 Reuters used two photos doctored by a Lebanese freelance

photographer, to exaggerate the results of a recent conflict.

In 2013 the AP's Twitter account was hacked, and the intruders released a hoax tweet about

fictional attacks in the White House that supposedly left President Obama injured.

PROBLEM Despite spending billions in manual fact checking, today’s news agencies often fail to uphold their duty to provide accurate, unbiased information.

In 2017, Dow Jones posted fake headlines claiming “Google to buy Apple.” The company then blamed

a “technical error.”

In 2018, Bloomberg released a report claiming that China had

infiltrated Apple and Amazon, without offering proof or verifiable sources.
